Trees, Shrubs, & Vines of Oswego NY and its Immediate Surroundings
I have started this site so that persons interested in trees, shrubs, and vines can view many of the plants found in the Oswego area. We searched for specimens in the city
of Oswego, the college at SUNY Oswego, and the surrounding towns of Minetto, Oswego, and Scriba –
within three miles of the city limits. However, it has not been possible to see what is in many backyards or
woodlots around the city and outlying areas; so we may not have been able to cover the many species that may actually be here. We have only been able to view front
and side yards, except where generous people, like Darleen Parsons, Jim Kraus, and Peter and AnneMarie Rounds, have let us onto their properties to examine and
photograph specimens.For these persons and others, we are grateful.

The trees and shrubs covered are ‘seed plants’ - gymnosperms (plants that have naked seeds or seeds
not enclosed in fruits) and angiosperms (the flowering plants that have seeds in fruits).
The woods and trees of gymnosperms (like Ginkgo and the conifers) are often termed softwoods, and the woods and trees of angiosperms or flowering plants are often termed hardwoods. Two of the three major groups of flowering plants include woody plants; they are the basal angiosperms
(including the magnolia’s) and the eudicots (including oaks, maples, ashes, dogwoods,
honeysuckle’s, and hydrangea’s).

The names are the binomial scientific name (genus and species - italicized), followed by the most used common name, for example,
Quercus alba white oak.
We have made little attempt to deal much with the many varieties of the species covered here because they can be so
numerous and even difficult to distinguish.

This website will take 2-3 years to complete, but it starts with many of the gymnosperms and basal
angiosperm/flowering plants found in the Oswego region.

Acknowledgements: Eric Hellquist will be a major part of this endeavor, and we are receiving assistance
from Tiffany Brancheau. Many thanks to April Tuttle for help.
Special gratitude goes to my wife, Marilyn A. Seago, who has helped me on so many
ventures around Oswego to shoot the photos and make the identifications.
